Frank looks like he's staging a sit down protest over his side's defending.

It'd be better if he actually tried to coach a defense. Didn't Derby have a similar problem?

Rossi IRL · 26-09-2020 05:19PM

Lampard and pundits can't use the excuse that Lampard couldn't buy any players due to the ban.

Now that he has bought a new team they look even worse.

Agent Coulson · 26-09-2020 05:19PM

I'd say Kepa is struggling not to smile and laugh.

The sour face on Frank Lampard is a thing of beauty.

Frank Lampard's Derby County had no stickability, no cohesion in the central midfield so if you got through you'd have a shot on goal.

Can't be too many people surprised by this. Lampard looked out of his depth at times last season when it came to the defense. He'll be sacked by Christmas the way things are going.

Where is the logic in bringing in a 36 year old CB who's never played in the league before and hoping he's gonna solve your defensive woes?

And made him captain

It's not.

As I've mentioned, the reason I do it is as per the phrase 'give as one gets'.

'it was started and prolonged by a different poster in previous years.' - as another poster has mentioned.

That poster happens to be a United fan. I've never heard it from anyone else so naturally enough it only goes back when United concede.

Anyway, can we all rejoice here & enjoy the hammering Chelsea are getting together?

Difference is one poster does it when his team scores.

You are doing it against United.

One is celebrating the other is "giving as good as he gets" even though the perceived gets is just made up in his head

Osmosis Jones · 26-09-2020 05:24PM

Robinson has literally only scored one Premier League goal before today, and who was it against?

He doesn't even speak English so to make him captain in his first league game is mind boggling

Looking forward to Franck’s ‘humorous comment, pause, laugh, then “no but seriously” after this.

el Fenomeno · 26-09-2020 05:27PM

Why is Silva captain actually, who's the usual captain?

Azpilicueta is captain & Jorginho is vice captain.

its not even just silva or the fact they made him captain, how the fck is alonso still being trotted out at lb, he has the pace of a tectonic plate at this stage, paint would dry faster etc

RugbyLover123 · 26-09-2020 05:34PM

Fair enough starting Silva, I can slightly justify that with their defence and him playing in the CL final only a few weeks ago.. but making him captain? Sends the complete wrong message to the squad.

I think Werner feels his 'effectiveness' as well on that side of the pitch. Chelsea set up is not going to get the best out of him at all.

TBF outside of kante there isn't many other options and he doesn't seem the most talkative out on pitch, like the rest are young lads new(er) players or Alonso, and Willy

why are they shifting him out to the left though also ? they seem to be lacking creatively and if ziyech isnt fit and doesnt hit the ground running i dont see where goals are coming from, havertz will surely only improve i suppose too.

This is it · 26-09-2020 05:43PM

Is Azpilacuata done? Didn't start their last match either. He'd probably be better at LB than Alonso with James at RB?

I'm sorry Mick, but you're wrong, with all due respect to you my friend.

A quick look in the Champions League thread the night of the Liverpool Atletico game (the last game I can remember Liverpool conceding a goal in that actually mattered) & you'll see MMMMMOOOOORRRRRAAAAATTTTTAAAAA.

actually forgot about pulisic, so i guess they go something like

werner

pulisic ziyech havertz

in some weird all attackers are inter-changeable you score 3 we'll hope to score 10 type of tactics

Harry Palmr · 26-09-2020 05:58PM

I hope you all piled on for Chelsea win at 3 down!

Rossi IRL · 26-09-2020 05:58PM

Ah feck, they are gonna come back arnt they

Mr.Crinklewood · 26-09-2020 06:00PM

Excellent goal...

"Mount Werner" sounds like something that should be on the National Geographic channel.

Mod: Respect is a good word.

Please let the above be the last on it and have respect for the purpose of the thread. Lets discuss the thread topic over some extra letters in posts

Modelled after Kevin Keegans Newcastle.
